Chapter 80Ria's POV.I was at the entrance of Priscilla's house alongside with my mother and the lawyer. We waited for them to open the door, and the appeared Priscilla with her mother standing right next to her.The expression on Maddie's face could easily tell me that she knew who my mother was and I wasn't shocked since she got married to my father. She must have seen her picture or seen her since she was way more older then me."What are the both of you doing here? Together with him?" Married questioned, while her eyes went to the lawyer who was standing behind us."What the hell are they doing here mom? Are they even supposed to be here?" I heard her Priscilla questioning too"We are here to make an agreement with you." My mother mentioned.I know she has never acted like a mother to me once. This was the best thing that could do for me. I wanted to take revenge on Miguel too, and I knew how much he depended on the property that my father had left for me."What kind did agreemen
Chapter 81.Ria's POV.It was nice making deal with my step-mother. Was this the end of my revenge? They agreed to give back all my properties and that wasn't going to be a good decision.I decided to visit Luca before going back to my house. It has just been a few days and I miss him already. "How long have you been waiting for?" He questioned as he walked into the room. "Not too long." I moved towards him while my hands went around his shoulder."Are you sure you really want to do this?" He questioned me, while I scoffed."I don't know if this is the pregnancy hormones, but I want you so bad right now." I confessed to him, and a smirk crept on his face.I want my dick in your throat." He spotted, and I had no choice but to fulfill his wish first."Consider it done." My lips turned into a soft smile slowly, as both of my knees then touched the ground. He turned off the shower as he then removed my hair cap, which I had used to cover my hair.He pulled all my hair backwards so I cou
Chapter 82. Ria's POV."Someone is here to see you." My personal assistant informed me. I wasn't meant to meet anyone today, so who could be here to see me?"Do you know who the person is?" I questioned her."He claimed his name is Miguel." She answered me, while a huge sigh followed. What the hell was Miguel doing here? I wasn't really expecting him to be here, and his presence surprised me."Let him in." I instructed her, while she then walked out of my office to call him.Miguel walked into my office, and I could see such devastation in his face. I gave my personal assistant a signal telling her to let us be.He sat on the chair opposite me, and while his eyes roamed around the office. "It has been long we have seen each other." I stood up, while I made sure there was no one trying to eavesdrop. I went back to my seat, and I realized his eyes were on my belly. Wait! Was my baby bump starting to get too obvious?"What are you staring at?" I questioned.He flinched at my question, a
Chapter 83. Ria's POV._The Next Day_I was with my mother, sorting out the transfer of assets. We waited for Priscilla and Maddie to arrive so we could sign the necessary documents. We were all at court. I watched as Priscilla and her mother walked towards us."Hi, nice meeting you," my mother greeted Maddie, who stood before us."Let's get this over with," Maddie replied, walking past her into the courtroom. Maddie had no choice but to agree, or else she'd lose everything.Priscilla walked up to me, her swollen eyes indicating she'd cried all night. That must be because of the breakup, I guess.That was meant to happen when a relationship was built based on deals. That was what happened between Miguel and I too. We got married so he could get to save my father.My father eventually died and there was nothing more attached to it. I lost everything which he had left in my name and that made him go ahead to meet my sister. I wasn't going to blame in entirely.Even after claiming what
Chapter 84Ria's POV_At The Hospital_The doctor As she applied the gel to my belly, I felt a shiver run down my spine. That was it. That was really happening. Luca held onto my hands, while I stared at his face.I let out a nervous chuckle as I then bit my lips. I was just so scared that something migjtI couldn't help but think about all the what-ifs. What if something was wrong with the baby? What if we didn't get to see the heartbeat? What if... what if... what if?The technician placed the wand on my stomach, and suddenly, the room was filled with a loud, steady beating. My heart skipped a beat as I stared at the screen, tears welling up in my eyes."Was that...?" I whispered, my voice trembling.The technician smiled. "That was your baby's heartbeat."I felt his hand squeeze mine as we both gazed at the screen in awe. Our baby, it's funny how I thought about aborting it."They are two." The doctor informed me, while I gasped. They? Two? I am carrying two beings in me right now?
Chapter 85Ria's POV.I checked another picture underneath and it was still in a picture of me. Was he really the one who had been sending me all those anonymous messages? I quickly brought out my phone which was in my pocket while I texted Luca to come over."Fuck!" I cussed on seeing that he wasn't online. I knew I was going to get scolded by him, but it was better than dying without anyone figuring things out.I heard a knock on the door and the made my heart jump. I was stuck in between confronting him or leaving things with the way they were.A lot of questions crossed my mind at that moment. Was he in love with me? Was that why he wanted to kill my child badly? Was that why he was doing all of this?If he loved me so much, he should understand me. That was what true love is. "What are you doing in there? You didn't have to lock the door just because you want to use the toilet." I heard him saying, but my knees were still in the floor. "Open the damn door, what are you doing in
Chapter 86Ria's POVWe sat at the bench, which was outside the store, watching as a lot of people walked in and then came back in after they got whatever they planned on buying."The news has been brought down already." Luca informed me, and then a smile crept on my face slowly. That was the best news I've ever heard this morning."Thank you very much." He helped me with it after speaking with Jade. It was funny how he could get down the article so easily.That must how madly hse must be in love with him, she would listen to him except from doing anything that involved her staying away from him a little bit."That is the smallest thing that I could get to do for you. I'm sorry things didn't go as planned." He apologized. "It's okay; we can release another product, which will get to sell." I assured him."Another product?" He repeated what I had said while I then looked at him."I thought you were planning on starting to build your own company." He stated, while a smile appeared on
Chapter 87Ria's POV.My hands were placed slightly on my waist while I was about to listen to everything that he had to tell."I am sorry for keeping this as a secret from you." He apologised to me. "I know that I should have told you about everything, but the situation that I was in didn't allow me to." I stated."I needed to satisfy my father for once in my life, but I ended up disappointing him." He touched his forehead."The fuck!? You own a building! You are capable. Why else do you want to satisfy him?" I was getting angry on his behalf this time around. "You guys are just so—" I feel like there were a lot of things I needed to know about.What kind of family did he grow up in? Was he just as helpless as me when I was with my father too? It's pained me to see that it was his father who was treating him this way."He doesn't like me, apparently." He paused while the breeze blew his long hair as he looked around the house. "He is angry at me for my mother leaving him. I think it
EPILOGUE IIRia happily served her kids a slice each of the chocolate cake she had learned to bake for their sakes and watched as they enjoyed it.“Don’t rush the cake, you’ll stain your dress,” she said as she stretched her hand to wipe the side of Aurora and Atlas’s mouths with a napkin.“It’s so delicious, Mom. Will you make us another after Granny’s birthday party?” Aurora said in between mouthfuls as she swung her legs underneath the table. Ria nodded and was just about to give a reply when she saw her husband emerge from the doorway.He looked so smart in his suit, and she just wanted to eat him up as he said, “There’ll be lots of cake there, so why don’t you let your mom rest a little?” He winked at her, waving his undone tie at her, but the children noticed his presence before she could walk up to him.“Daddy!” Aurora was the first to notice as she hopped off her stool and ran up to hug him. With a smile, he crouched to wrap his arms around her as Atlas ran into his embrace as
EPILOGUE IFive Years LaterLuca tiptoed into the master’s bedroom and shut the door quietly behind him as he peeked around for any sight of his wife.“Ria,” he called gently as his eyes scanned the room until they finally settled on her standing in front of the dressing mirror.His mouth ran dry as he saw the way the dress shimmered under the lights and how it hugged her delicate curves. He hated the fact that there would be a lot of people who would get to see her in that dress tonight.She was checking herself out in preparation for the party they would be attending that evening.The moment she turned around and did a swirl, he knew he needed to have a taste of her before they left, or else he’d be restless throughout the night.His heart was racing as he approached her from behind, and it felt like he was falling in love with her all over again.“I feel like the luckiest man in the world,” he said as he held her waist, and they both stared into the mirror.“Luca.” She turned and g
Chapter 140 (FINALE)Chapter 75Jade's POV.I have waited long enough for this day. I wasn't just going to be called off that way. My father helped with the case that was filed against me.If I don't get to do the right thing now, they might keep on filing cases against me and that was why I needed to do this The fact that I was going to get to kill Ria today would be the best thing that I have ever done for myself. I have always wished for the day that I wouldn't get to see her anymore.Finn promised that he was going to help me get what I wanted, which I was really happy about. Having someone to threaten was really a good thing in life. Now, he was even willingly to help me do things.I heard the news that she was going to get married to Luca. I wouldn't let that happen again while I was still alive. "Luca would come and save me." She said it with so much confidence, which made me chuckle. She was really confident this night and with the look of things, she might have a few things
Chapter 139Chapter 74*Two Weeks After*Ria's POV.My bridal shower was finally going to happen this night. I would be getting married tomorrow!We have been making preparations for this for the past month! Jade would be getting married in the next two weeks, which was really cool! I was so happy that our marriage was really close.I wished we could get to do it the same day.I waited for her to come over for my bridal shower. Everywhere was well lit up, and it was really beautiful.We were using the longue, which was in Luca's house. Luca left the house for us to enjoy, and I bet he must be with Liam right now. He barely had any friends, and probably with my dad told.I heard the doorbell ring as I rushed towards the door immediately. The moment I had been waiting for was finally here. I opened the door slowly, which revealed Zoa.I hugged her very tightly before I left her.It's funny how the bridal shower was only going to involve the both of us, probably alongside with my mom and
Chapter 138Liam's POV.Falling for Zoa was something that I never imagined was going to happen. I watched she as she kept on ranting but u couldn't listen to a single word she was saying.My gaze wre focused on her naked belly since she was putting on a crop top. I wanted to place my head in between those chubby legs. The effect she had on me these days was really one of a kind.I was sitting in the chair in my room, and yeah we have been living together ever since he father died. I never knew she had this side of her. It was so cute to see her rambling this way."Are you even listening to what I was saying." She interrupted my thoughts making me almost flinch. She used the clothes that were in her hands to hit my head, as she accidentally trip falling in my legs.Her hands were on my dick right now, and I bet she could feel how hard they were! Fuck what the hell was happening."It's so hard to resist you." I let out my confession. "I've been meaning to tell you this these days, but
Chapter 137Ria's POV*THE NEXT MORNING*"We spent the entire night together, but you are just telling me about the fact that you recovered your memory. Can you see how heartless you are?" I scolded Luca as we were on our way to the company.We were fucking together throughout last night, and the reason he had disappeared and made me worried for two days was because he wanted to surprise him.He told me that he was going to get the investors back, and I kept on asking him how he was going to do that, only for him to let me know now that he had recovered his memories already."What procedure did you use in getting them back? I think you are suffering from the side effects." I mentioned it to him, as he chuckled slightly again. There was nothing funny in what I had just said.If only he knew how worried I was, only for him to be hiding somewhere even when his company almost lost all its value."I am really sorry, and I will repay you in any way that I can." He promised me."Thank God yo
Chapter 136Ria's POV*THREE DAYS AFTER*"I don't have anything to do with your husband; you should go and look for him. Who knows? He might have lost interest in you since he lost his memories." There was no way Luca was going to leave me."I swear, if anything happens to him, I am going to make sure that you regret it for the rest of your life." I mentioned to Jade as I ended the call right immediately after.I wasn't really sure if she was the one responsible for him going missing. I was hesitant to report it to the police, hoping that he was going to come home, but right now I think it is the right time for me to let the police know about everything.I was about to walk up the stairs, not until I heard the sound of the bell ringing. I walked up to the door and saw a man standing there."Uhm, you ordered this." He stretched the box towards me."I think you got the wrong address. I didn't order anything." I said in defence. I have seen a lot of tricks like these being used these day
Chapter 135Luca's POVI wanted to know a lot of things about myself. Yeah, I might be performing well even with my memory loss, but it felt like I was empty. It really feels like there was something missing in me.I have been going to therapy secretly without Ria knowing, and I decided to go for one today since she went for her friend's daughter's funeral. I thought it was going to be a very perfect opportunity for me to go."Can you just come up with a fast technique? I need to recover my memory as fast as possible." I urged the doctor."You told me that you do see a few blurry images in your dream, and that means you are close to achieving it." She mentioned."Let's go for the option you mentioned the other day.""No way, I am not going to let you go through all that after the progress that you made already." She opposed, just like I was expecting her to."Exactly! This is my business, and you told me the consequences, but I needed to recover my memories as fast as I could. What if
Chapter 134Ria's POVJade was standing next to her huge black car, while Finn was at my front."I don't want to have anything to do with you again." Finn mentioned to me, unable to look me in my eyes."What? Did you threaten him again? Are you scared of her? Are you scared of what she might do to you?" I questioned him while I scoffed."It is none of your business. You can call the police to arrest me and then bring me in for questioning. You can tell them anything they want, but we don't have any business together." He mentioned setting the boundary between the both of us.A scoff appeared on my lips while I tried to connect the dots as usual.He was so damn serious."What the hell does she have on you exactly that you keep on acting this way?" I whispered, moving closer to him. "You see Zoa over there." I pointed at Zoa, who was sitting on a pavement with Liam next to her. Her hair was so messy, her eyes were really swollen, and she looked like a mess right now. "She made her that
